Unlocked Diamond to new Carrier

I have an unlocked Diamond with RED ROM using Telus carrier. Can I use this same phone with BEL if I switch carriers?

have to ask bell about that, most cdma carriers don't allow phones from other carriers

If you find a good nice rep. The biggest thing is getting your phone ready to work on Bell.

They can make it work, but like he said you have to find a sales rep who is willing to break the rules. The best way is if you can find a third party carrier store. Like someone who owns the store themselves but offers different carrier services.

OK, thanks for the info. But How do I get the phone ready for Bell? Flash a stock Bell ROM? that sort of thing...

Problem solved: Bell will connect an "owner phone" to its service but not the data; so, it's just a phone. which is ok because I don't want to pay for data BUT I will have WiFi.
